2024-10-29 19:42:56As Chaol returned to a distinct place where Owl and Yvonne had planned, he stole a few glances of Asthenosthene. She was returning to the table with a smile on her face. Mrs. Pickinns immediately examined the child's body whether there was something that changed.
There wasn't. At least for now.
From the far distance Chaol bellowed over to Asty:s direction. He could not take his eyes off her, somehow. There was something within in that intrigued him and he could not determine what it was. Her voice perhaps? Her kind personality? Her bright features that seemed so opposite from him? Or was it her purity?
He did not know. All he could think of was: to have her in his arms. That gentle, small hands to caress him as they danced felt so perfectly fit within his palms. Her curvaceous waist, he could not help but smile as his hands were placed perfectly upon her sides. Everything about her, perfectly matched him. She was extraordinary

The skies were dimmed and the raindrops fell as Lady Rosellia's coffin descended into the ground. It seemed that the clouds were crying along with the invited, sorrowful and melancholic.Asty could hear the maids' hiccups and weeps. She was gone."Asty." Noelle called out gently.Asty looked at the male. "Mhmm?""You okay?"Asty responded with a nod. "Yeah. You?""I don't know." he answered. "I didn't get to tell her how I feel."Noelle had a crush on Lady Rosellia ever since he was young. They first met at his father's farm. At first, his impression of her was impertinent and

PALACESitting on a soft silky, red couch, the King of Chesterfawn eyed the envelope that the count had given to him a few days ago, during the Ball.It has been days and he has not lifted the envelope's contents.He reaches out to the sleek paper and heaved a sigh. He carefully opened the flap and cautiously took out a small piece of paper inside. Inside it was his invitation to a Noble. He examined the paper.At the back of his invitation, were characters written by ink. The penmanship seemed to be neat at the beginning, but started to lose its pleasantness at the end.It was like whomever who had written it, had a few seconds to relay the message. It was like... it was timed.

It has been a week after the funeral of the noble. Asty and Noelle had promised Mrs. Pickinns to clean the warehouse in tribute for her help to have Lady Rosellia's wish come true. With their broomsticks and pails, they stood before the warehouse's rickety door and heaved a sigh."We shouldn't have agreed, Asty." Noelle complained."All for Lady Rosellia!" Asty yelled with her lungs. "I will make this place spic and span and leave no single dust behind!""You sure are very cheerful today, huh..." Noelle replied to her in a monotonous manner. He sighed. "Let's just get this over with."Noelle kicked the door brutally. The wooden door fell into the floor of sacks and puffed an explosion of dust."Noelle!" Asty frowned in dismay."Ha-ha, my bad."The two walked in and started their cleaning spree. They picked up the sacks from the floor and brought them outside to wher

As the moon rose high above the thicket of trees, Asty and Noelle made their final touches inside the warehouse. They roamed around to see whether something was left unclean. After a few inspections, they concluded that the warehouse was squeaky clean.Even the door that Noelle broke on purpose had been replaced.The warehouse looked like a different place. From a rubbish container of rats and crows, it had become a safehouse of cloth and garments.Asty sat on one of the boxes and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. She sighed in exhaustion. Noelle was standing still on the corner, catching his breath. He had just finished moving the cabinets from the corner."We're finally finished." he spoke between breaths.

Chaol's eyes darted in every corner of the room. His mind had shut down and his eyes were looking over like frenzy. "Where the hell did she go?" he thought.The unknown Night Hallow had just taken his prey and there's no way in the world that a simple negotiation would work for him. Whoever takes what's his would suffer a slow and painful death."Hah..." he snorted in displeasure. "Unbelievable."His vision had become cloudier as irritation started to fill his mind. His blood started to boil more and more. He was dangerously infuriated. "Owl. Yvonne."The two servants lunged down from the ceiling, creating an explosion of dust as they reached the wooden floorboards. With their heads down, they knelt and replied to Chaol obediently in synchronization.

With a light thud, the nameless Night Hallow fell into the bed of grasses. A sleek, wet blade pierced by his lung withdrew, leaving him onto the ground gasping for air.Asty slowly raised her head, her eyes blank and empty from confusion.A man stood still behind the injured body. He proceeds to kick his frail figure away from Asty's line of sight and then chuckled."Stop whining. You won't die from a single stab."Asty grabbed the speaker's leg and tightened her grip. "Why. Why did you do that? Just... why in the world, did you..""Oh come on," he replied. "I took the effort to rescue you and this is the reaction I get?"Asty raised h

Asty smiled sheepishly at him and withdrew her hand. She scratched the back of her nape and looked away. "It is late already. I should head back home now, my mother must be so worried. And probably, Noelle too."Chaol nods. "Of course."Thoughts swarmed inside his head. Asty was dangerously close to him. He could easily take her away if we wanted to. It was annoyingly irritating for him to see Asty's small figure all for himself. It was like, at any moment he would lose his mind. His urges, the feelings. They were uncomfortable for him. He had always been a patient man. But this time, he was itching so hard to control himself.Everything about her was just so damn irresistible and he was not sure if he could contain himself for much longer."Let's go

Asty tossed and turned above her bed. Her mind was boggled indisposition because of what the Count had confessed to her. She covered her cheeks with soft, white blankets and did not even care about the creature looking at her from the window.She was too busy trying to absorb what Chaol had told her. His dark voice etched into her brain like a tattoo."You are sold to me."Asty's exhausted eyes looked at the creature from the window, peeking at her. She heaved a sigh and whispered. "Are all of you Night Hallows just as unpredictable as he was?"The creature did not respond."I did not even expect that I had chosen to mend someone who had the chance to kill me. I mean, the count must be joking,

The bells rang from the distance. The woman with the bright orange hair stood behind the huge doors of the church. Her eyes were closed and a smile was evident on the woman's lips. Everything that she dreamed of was finally before her eyes. The moment had finally come. She opened her eyes and the doors finally parted ways. Her eyes fell to the long golden aisle that she so dreamt of walking one day. Beside it, on the benches, for all the people she loved and cared for. She felt her heart start pounding and racing faster and faster, when her bright persimmon orbs reached the center of the long corridor. There he stood, the love of her life, the apple of her eye, the man who taught her how to love. He had a smirk on his face and she just wanted to get over with that aisle wipe that smug grin off his face with a kiss. The music started. The harmonious synchronization of chorale brought everyone to their tears. Her mother who was standing also, in the aisle— staring at her beautif

Asty was walking around the palace when she noticed something strange everywhere. The maids seem to be avoiding her and she did not seem to see a single sentry guarding the gates.Everyone seems to be very busy and every time she would greet them they would only turn away."That's odd." she told herself. "They don't really act like this to me before."She walked around and around and even brought herself into the garden. But there was not a single person around.What was going on, she thought.She couldn't even find her friends anywhere in the Palace. She had woken up with absolutely nothing but the chirping of birds. She looked around to see if there was someone she can talk to.Yvonne wasn't there, Chaol wasn't there. Even her brother was not there."Where could they all have gone to?"She noticed that the maids were stealing glances at her. She would look at them and wave but then they would only avoid her gaze.

After being able to speak with her mother, Asty led the group to a path in the woods that led to a field of dandelions.They looked around and saw how beautiful it was. The sun was before them, and they could feel it burning through their skin, but even so— their eyes were fixed on the blanket of flowers that seemed to flow against the wind."This is so beautiful." Lana commented.Asty smiled at her. "This is where my mistress is buried.""Why isn't she buried in a proper grave?""That is because this is what she requested. That is a part of her will to be buried under the field of dandelions, chrysanthemums, and daisies. She wanted to face the sun and the skies. She wanted to look at the blanket of stars as she rested. That is what she imagined."They smiled at her and walked towards the field."I think it is better if we leave you be." Chaol told Asty, Yvonne, and Robynn. "I think you guys need more of an alone time with this,

Asty and the others were sent in a carriage that was intended to traverse them into the village of Erana. Asty watched as the sea of trees ran across her vision. She stared at it for a long amount of time before wondering something in her head.Chaol reached out to her head and made it rest on his shoulders."Is something troubling you?" he asked her."No nothing at all." She told him. "I was just wondering a few things.""Like what?""They are not very pleasant things." She told him and smiled. "It's best if I keep it to myself.""You can always tell me about it. I won't mind." Chaol smiled at her. "Is it because of the battle?""Yeah." she nodded. "Polo was... in pain. I didn't know that he had to go through all that that's why he became the way he was. He went after so many painful things in his life that I cannot even imagine happening to me.""You saw his memories?""I did." she nodded at him. "They were not very go

Asty walked within the flames of the ground as she approached the lifeless corpse of her beloved. she clenched her fists upon seeing his torn body and closed her eyes as the tears streamed down from her face. There is no greater pain in the world than to lose someone you love.It is a pain that will be permanent inside your heart and will linger around for so many years. And she was not sure if she was prepared for that. Everything was so sudden, so fast, so abrupt. Did not know what to do or what to expect. The betrayal, the revelations, and then suddenly turning back the tables to prove that the ones she thought were the criminals were actually the innocent ones.She crouched on the ground and reached out to his cold body. What else can she expect? He is gone and he will never come back to her. The eclipse was an unfair event. The people viewed it as equal, but to her, it was only another cruel event.

"Please pull the lever, Polo!""I got it!"It was another day for the folks to work. Polo, who was now one of the known people in their village, was helping them with the fences against the wolves."Is that all for today?" the builders asked one another."Yeah I think so." he then looked at Polo. "Good work today, boy. Your wife must be so happy to have you around."A blush escaped from the male's cheek. He scratched the back of his nape while looking at them. "S-She isn't my wife, yet.""So when are you, lovebirds, planning the wedding?" one of them nudged his arm.Polo chuckled hesitantly, feeling pressured at their constant teasing. "We planned to do the ceremony on the fourth." he told them. "You guys are invited, of course.""That's what we'd like to hear!"They all gave Polo a smack in the back, a customary thing for them to do to and express their encouragement to their buddies.Minutes later, a familiar vo
